Right breed for our family?
My wife and I are looking to get a pup in a year or two and are considering a couple of breeds. Before kids we’ve had a senior boxer and a young dogo. We had to re-home the dogo right after giving birth to our first (she became very aggressive to our boxer and there was an opportunity to rehome her to a dog trainer with a farm. We get regular updates and have visited. She is doing great!).
Our boxer died two years ago and we ready for another pup. I’ve been interested in Dobermans for a while. One thing that “concerns” us is we’ve read that they typically bond to one member of the family. There are five of us (three kids under 7) so we need a dog that will be be bonded to all of us.
Those with kids / multiple people in the home, is this worry over blown or do they really only stick to one person?
Happy to get any other tips on the Doberman as a family dog! (We plan on doing IPO / protection work as well).
